NORWALK -- A 36-year-old scorned lover was arrested after breaking into her estranged girlfriend's Roodner Court apartment Tuesday, frightening the woman to the point where she jumped out of her third-floor window, police said.

Khalilah Blankimsee, of 386 Park Ave., Bridgeport, was charged with third-degree burglary, disorderly conduct, risk of injury to a minor and second-degree threatening. She was expected to be arraigned Wednesday at Norwalk Superior Court.

Police say Blankimsee's 23-year-old girlfriend broke off their relationship and was packing her bags in advance of moving to a domestic violence safehouse. She had placed a couch in front of her front door so that Blankimsee could not enter the apartment, police said.

She heard a rustling outside of her window and then saw Blankimsee on the fire escape, according to police.

Blankimsee went back down the fire escape, climbed up the stairs to the third floor of the victim's building and unlocked the victim's apartment door, forcing the couch out of the way of the door, police said.

Police said Blankimsee threatened to put the victim in the hospital, frightening her. The victim believed that Blankimsee had a knife or a gun, according to police.

Fearing for her safety, the victim jumped out of her window, leaving her 3-year-old child behind in the apartment, police said. She landed on the second-floor fire escape, injuring her ankle, police said.

The victim then ran for safety, and Blankimsee ran out of the back door of the apartment building, according to police.

Police were called to the scene at 3:42 p.m., and Blankimsee was found a short distance away from Roodner Court at the intersection of Ingalls Avenue and Gray Rock Road. Asked why she was covered in sweat, Blankimsee did not have a logical answer to the question, police said. The victim later wrote a sworn, written statement against Blankimsee, police said.

The 3-year-old was shaken but unharmed during the incident, according to police.
